Peter Robert explains that a new writ stating the Manor's right for representation has just come before the Assembly, and he believes that DeLancey and Phillips "found to their great sorry that the Mannor had a greater right to send a Member than any of the Counties and that should they call the right of the Mannor in Question they would Call their own Seats in question therefore made a meritt of Necessity-." Peter Robert enclosed the writ with his letter, and hopes that it will pass the election without any more questionable interferences on the part of the opposition.
